Gujarat Textile Policy: Interest Subsidy

About This Scheme

The "Gujarat Textile Policy" is an umbrella scheme introduced by the Industries and Mines Department, Gujarat. It aimed at augmenting investments in the textile sector and strengthening the textile value chain across each sub-sector, while also focusing on strengthening the garments and apparel as well as technical textiles industry. Effective from October 1st, 2024 to September 29th, 2029, this initiative focuses on reducing the carbon footprint and promoting green growth, thereby making the sector globally competitive and environmentally sustainable. The component "Interest Subsidy" provides financial assistance in the form of a credit-linked interest subsidy for eligible industrial activities. This subsidy helps reduce the financial burden on industrial units by reimbursing a portion of the interest paid on term loans for Gross Fixed Capital Investment.
